April Calendar of Events April 1 2007 Reunion Exhibit Photographs and memorabilia that commemorate many of this year’s reunion classes, including people, places and events from the 65th, 55th, 45th, 40th, 35th, 30th, 25th and 10th reunion classes. Tisch Library, corridor to the Tower Café, through August 24. Coed Sailing Team Racing Series II, Mass. Maritime. New Media Wall Continuous screenings of art works in video and film. Featured is “i’ve got a guy running,” a short video by Jonathon Kirk, lecturer in music theory and a Ph.D. candidate in music at Northwestern University. The visual elements of the video were created through an interactive edge-detection algorithm used with U.S. Department of Defense combat footage from the Iraq War. The work explores the contention that the nature of war is becoming a purely visual perception. Aidekman Arts Center, adjacent to the Tisch Gallery entrance, through April 30. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., and Thursday until 8 p.m. For more information, call 617-627-3518 or go to http://www.ase.tufts.edu/gallery. University Gallery “Nuvolomondo,” the first site-specific installation by Boston painter Cristi Rinklin, commissioned for the Harry Remis Sculpture Court at the Aidekman Arts Center at Tufts. Culling imagery from sources as varied as Rococo art, cellular biology, natural history illustration, cosmological phenomena and decorative patterns, Rinklin’s lush environment depicts a world based on real objects and pictorial traditions, altered by technology, and completed by the imagination of the artist. Inspired by her recent visiting artist and scholar residency at the American Academy in Rome, Rinklin’s “cloud-world” installation is a “techno-ornate” burst of color and form. A contemporary interpretation of Baroque ornament, architectural details and stained glass panels, the installation is a stimulating experience that changes form and mood throughout the day. Aidekman Arts Center, Remis Sculpture Court, through May 30. The exhibition is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Thursday until 8 p.m. For more information, call the gallery at 617-627-3518 or go to http://www.ase.tufts.edu/gallery.
